He confirmed it last week too, not sure on what new buses it'll get

Always wondered what the point of the rear add with standees a was trying to get across.



6915, 6916, 6917, 6918, 6919 & 6932 are at Consett with 6124, 6125, 6131, 6167, 6168 & 6169 leaving. 6133 & 6143 remain but I do wonder if they’ll go before the scholars go back.


Thanks for the update

Where has the Omnidekka's gone?

Also mentioned is the 93/94 getting a refresh later this year.


Can't see anything more than the Citaros going on the 93/94 with Streetlites going on the 57 maybe.

6149-6161 will be going somewhere when the streetdecks arrive for Consett, is it possible some might end up on the 93/94?

The staircase vinyl on 6333 doesn't look so bad in person, it's not glossy like on Arriva's

And the metallic gold really does look good in the rain

I just noticed today that the rear fleet number on 6333 is at the very top, above the upstairs window. Was it like that on 6304 as well?

Also I noticed that the Red Kites NSA has been updated to add the X to the route. Seems like they temporarily updated them before rebranding as X-Lines, but never bothered with the X21

I don't use it too much nowadays, but I think the X21 NSAs have been off since the Tindale Crescent extension?

6149-6161 will more than likely end up at Riverside for the 6's as they due to be converted to Euro 6 ahead of the low emission zone being introduced in Newcastle.

Could they not be in line (alongside 6118-21) to replace the B5LHs on the Coaster?

Yes, that's correct. They also still haven't updated the app with the new stops in Tindale, and the southbound buses still don't show on the tracker.

PVR of the 6 is 4.


It also works with the X30 on an evening so unlikely to be the new home of at least some of those B9s.

6 transfer - all in the GNE brand?, with the Toonlink ones temperately withdrawn to be repainted, and then allocated on another service which enters Gateshead and Newcastle?

(27 Aug 2019, 8:19 pm)N1cholas


6085 is getting some emission modifications, along with the other fab 56s, wonder when they will get a fresh coat of paint


So far how many of the FAB 56, B9's, have been converted to Euro 6?


----


List of the Euro 6 conversions:


FAB 56 – 6085-6099 (15)
6149-6161 (13)
6045-6047/6071-6083 (16)


44/120



Leaves 76 left unaccounted for.
